Making Movies With Your Digital SLR

The course will help you get the best results from most digital SLRs, including choice of lenses, as well as techniques to turn a series of shots into a captivating narrative. You will explore techniques to capture the best quality video and audio with relatively inexpensive equipment. Get hands-on experience in basic video and audio editing, using programs such as Adobe Premiere, Audition and After Effects. Find out how to use free Magic Lantern software that lets many low-cost Canon DSLRs capture professional quality 14-bit RAW video that is equivalent to video captured by broadcast TV cameras. The course should be of interest to anyone wanting to make pro-quality films or turn their holiday videos or family history into a movie – without breaking the bank.

A basic understanding of digital photography is required to attend this course. Feel free to bring along your own DSLR, lenses and microphone but that is not required.
